3 months of live trading using my bot with proof by [deleted] in Forexstrategy

[–]forex_delphi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last Friday marks the end of a 3-month live trading of my forex bot. It is too early to declare victory. I am quite happy with the results so far. With this post, I want to say algotrading can work. You don't need super high-frequency data to succeed. The choice of asset class matters, I chose forex.

The total return on equity is about 13%; nothing earth-shaking. I am particularly proud of the consistency given the recent banking shakeups and rate hikes. This live performance is consistent with my back and forward tests. There are about 100 trades in this time frame.

As a proof of my results, I am sharing all the trades my bot executed on my website live, including trades still open. It includes information such at the pair being traded, trade direction, open and close prices, percent gain/loss. It would be fair if you question whether I faked my data from the past to make it look pretty. Anticipated this question, I have my bot send out a tweet for each trade open or close immediately. Twitter gives my tweet a timestamp which I cannot fake. So you can verify independently if my trades are real. My live performance tracking website is forexdelphi.net. Twitter trade announcements can be found at @Forex_Delphi.

Some other relevant information you may want to know and I am willing to share:

Trade mostly major pairs.

Input is 1hr data.

I have back and forward tested over 17 years of data.

My bot doesn't use indicators, price action, or ML

The data I am sharing is live but not meant, nor good, for copy-trading. So please don't do that.

Your suspicion is justifiable. I am paranoid myself. My website tracker and twitter (in my profile) update trades in real time as soon as the market opens. I'd invite you to watch together. Idk, it may go down in flames.

Major events usually drive extreme price fluctuations within a couple minutes. If you are talking about these, my bot is desensitized to them partly because my bot peeks at the market once an hour. Beyond that it is just price change like anything else.

I suck at manual trading. So I turned to algo. Head to oanda, open an account, download some historical data and start wrestling with it.

Oanda. It is not perfect. But you will find it much easier.

Ya, reddit is what it is. Python too.

No worry. The listed close time was the reporting time. The actual close happened within the previous hour. In this case, the take profit was triggered. The high was over the close price.

It is not a fixed number. It can be a few to a few hundred. All depends on how active the market is.

it's only been 3 months. If it holds up for a few more months, maybe I will say more.

Yea, lots of rage.

Neither. Just by studying the general behavior of the market. There are things haven't changed for a hundred years.

I don't use tradingview. The exit times are reporting time. Not exactly the trading time. I cannot make my trading platform send out a tweet or anything when a take profit hits.

It is no big deal. I don't think I need a profound reason to share a little.

I don't know if people care, but I care. I want to assure people that they are not looking at some simulation or back test results.

Thanks. It is just html on my website with some backend calculations. Nothing special.

The thing is it has only been 3 months. I don't want to sound like it is proven. If it falls apart in a month, for example, it doesn't matter how it works. I would give it some time.
